Impact of stress on productivity

Employee stress is negatively correlated with their productivity. But there are certain exceptions to the rule, for example, some people are in a better emotional state during times of distress (crises). And as a result, they meet the expectations of the employer and show remarkable performance. This is possible when employees have extensive experience in performing tasks. People with exceptional skills and competencies in performing tasks can cognitively assess a possible stressful scenario as a challenge, rather than as a threat.
